You forgot to point out that everyone who cares about this needs to "up vote" that Bugs and Suggestions - CodeProject[^] posting in order to move it up in the queue of things to be done! 
The issue "ahead" of it has been in the queue for nearly 3 years!
And the first item in Open Items is about a year and a half.
That does not make a solution to this appear likely to be anytime soon.... 
(If only I could up vote it a dozen or so more times!)

(AFAIK) The current system for article moderation lets an article through with 10 approvals but to stop it it takes 10 reports of the same kind. So 9 reports for spam/abuse plus 9 reports for <something else> won't suffice to stop it.
I think this should be changed so that 10 reports of any kind will stop an article from being published, or maybe some middle ground, but not 10 reports of the same kind. The following two factors lead to garbage submissions being approved so that they have to be re-reported both as posts in the S&A forum and as report-clicks on the submission in the queue: 1) There are evidently several members approving any garbage without giving it a thought, and 2) often it isn't obvious for which reason a submission should be reported so that reports don't "line up" even if originating from a post in the S&A forum. I thought about suggesting that article reports should include the suggested report option but, realistically, I don't think that would work consistently.

That's exactly why I suggested a couple of times to make partially visible to some selected people, who is approving an article. Maybe that way we can reduce the amount of blind approves.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I have noticed quite a few times over the last few days that I will attempt to post a response to a post and CP will tell me that it has already posted. It hasn't. This is in the Soapbox where I thought it wasn't moderated. Sometimes they show up later, other times not at all.

That's weird, the rest of the URL was correct, the article ID was wrong. All fixed.
Thanks,

Yep, but as the rest is only relevant for SEO, the id is all that matters
I don't know how that happened, but thanks for fixing it!

I would like to see a dedicated place where members can exchange experiences with malware, especially new variants that are not yet detected by some anti-virus products.

Are we ever going to get the ability to post pictures? By "we", I mean users with sufficiently high enough reputation (and membership tenure?).
Suggestion - how about a new user icon that indicates people that have been members for over 10 years...

You mean an old fart's icon? Or do you mean an icon that represents the wisdom, self-restraint and all round nurturing grandfatherly ways our elder members exhibit?
Pictures in forums: They will come.

Can you get the "psycho" look into 16x16 pixels? With the blood-dripping axe?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That's what JSOP's avatar already is? Seriously, what is that hideous thing?

That's the turkeymonkey from a 1995 computer game featuring the band Devo, called "The Adventures of The Smart Patrol".
I scanned the image from Wired Magazine over 20 years ago.

You should print this thread on paper, and store it in a secure, cool, and dry place for reference later when the topic comes up again. Because it WILL come up again.

Yes. (Either way, that's me. Because you know how restrained and nurturing I am.  )

Q3/4/5: My guess would be "no" and "hell no"!
Until scoped CSS[^] gains widespread browser support, there's no way to restrict a block of CSS to only apply to a particular part of the page. If you apply a user's custom stylesheet to every page with one of that user's posts, we'll end up with an unreadable mess. Some users will do it by accident; others will do it deliberately.

Well you can do css "scoping" of a sort now with inline styles on the element. (Of course, I can do that myself now). But Christ said no and I'll take what I can get. But at least I have some style control. For now.

- Yes
- Yes. It applies to the whole page.
- GOTO 1
- No
- No.
- No.
3-5: We've spent an awfully large amount of time ensuring the site works as we intend it to work, on the devices on which we intend it to work, and with the look that represents our branding. Allowing anyone, anywhere to change the CSS of the entire site would be wicked fun, but we may as well have no CSS at all and just open it up to the hordes. It would be crazy fun and very quickly unusable.
